Yep, I have seen where it all began, multiple times now in fact. What i would actually like to see now is where it ends
Yep. That.
Also, the game in the first version became interesting after the first 3 chapters, so he really should change the plot to make the remake worth it. And that requires time, as much as making new content.
The whole "replay the old content but this time looking better" is tiring, to be honest. It is hard to be excited about the game when you know that you will not see it completed, but will just get another remake
